Last year we had a GITS live-action flick but it turned out to be a disaster. The film knew how to take some of the visual elements of the anime but the story lacked a good narrative a attraction. You can read our review of the movie here.

Ghost in the Shell tells the story of a cyborg federal agent Maj. Motoko Kusanagi who trails “The Puppet Master”. He illegally hacks into the computerized minds of cyborg-human hybrids. Her pursuit of a man who can modify the identity of strangers leaves Motoko pondering her own makeup and what life might be like if she had more human traits. With her partner (Richard George), she corners the hacker, but her curiosity about her identity sends the case in an unforeseen direction.

No release date for this new Ghost In The Shell entry has been made official.
